Tuvalu 2024 $5 Starry Sky & Planets 5oz Silver Coloured Antiqued Coin

Beyond the Moon, we identified planets and comets in our Solar System, as well as more distant stars and constellations. The invention of the telescope in the early 17th century advanced our understanding of Earth’s place within, the vast cosmos. The coin’s coloured reverse design represents the Universe with an artistic arrangement of astronomical bodies including Earth, fringed planets, comets meteors, stars, a galaxy, and nebulae.
